Further, I-Control is proven to accurately aggregate data through the control system. For example, I-Control can record weights from multiple certified devices and add them together to calculate total weight. The final weight is certified to meet NIST Handbook 44 requirements, important for facilities where ‘legal-for-trade’ certification from a local governing body is a primary goal.
